Denzel talks “The Great Debaters” with EW

Talk about a media blitz. Can you get away from “The Great Debaters” (do you want to)? Denzel Washington sits down with Entertainment Weekly’s Allyssa Lee. Here is a snippet:

Can we talk a little bit more about Jurnee? People say this is going to be her breakout role.
Time will tell. I think she did a great job, and ”breakout” means someone has to give you a job, right? That’s what breakout means. It’s the most difficult for African-American women in this business. So I wouldn’t dare say that everything’s gonna happen great, because…who would you name that’s had a breakout role that’s her age? See what I mean? But I give her credit. She’s a great, great actress, and God willing, she will break out.
